Not available in any repositories and largely unknown to general masses (much like gRPC itself).
Personally I like gRPC and sometimes use it in projects. But the author is right — attempting to gradually replace an existing HTTP API via gRPC API is like replacing horses with genetically modified cows. You need a very... corrupt mindset to ever attempt anything like that.

It's like needing a different phone for every person you call (protobuf artifacts) instead of calling different people on the same phone (same artifact, different address and data in payload).
- EdwardDiego 6y agoshrug Was just pointing out that you don't need the .proto files on hand to interact with a gRPC service if you use the above approach.
